Posted on June 8th, 2013 in inkydeep by inkydeep

This year’s Vintage Surf Meet has moved from it location above Lusty Glaze to Fistral Beach, Newquay, Cornwall. Things get under way from 10:30 and entry is free. There will be vintage surfboards to show, swap, sell and buy, plus surfing related memorabilia.

The event appears to have been expanded somewhat this year now being billed as a “Retro Surf Day” with a vintage surfboard rally, Classic VW Show and Shine, as well as a “retro” surf contest. A slide show from surf photographer Alex Williams will also be taking place on a large screen in the Fistral Beach Bar.

British Surfer

Posted on April 5th, 2013 in inkydeep by inkydeep

British Surfer magazine by Graham Looker.

These are issues two through six of British Surfer. Issue one is the Holy Grail of UK surf magazine collecting!

British Surfer was started by guys in Swansea in the late sixties, then Rod Sumpter was asked to edit further issues, so it moved to Newquay. Rod’s then girlfriend, did most of the legwork though. Only six were produced in total. Similar copies to these I’ve seen were on eBay and sold for about £300!

Dutch Uncles – Fester. Released November 2012.

From the Sunday Times; “Dissonant, xylophone-pocked electro-pop, this new single from the Manc quintet is sublime”.

ONE SHOT- an Image and an Attitude. From Darren McCagh. Released December 2012.
Amazing surfing imagery and what it takes to be a surf photographer.

From the One Shot facebook page; “’One Shot’ is a short documentary that looks into the life of Russell Ord, a West Australian, world renowned surf Photographer as he embarks on a mission to capture ‘one shot’ that defines who he is, not just what he does. Fueled by a burning desire to have ‘his moment’ Russell risks life and limb to capture waves of consequence from inside the barrel.”

The Distant Shores Movie. From Surfer Magazine. Released June 2012.
Wanderlust… Such an excellent surf movie; a surf odyssey to the ends of the earth.
